Aggravated assaults over the last 12 months are up 1% compared to the annual average over the last three years, according to the latest data available from Fayetteville Police Department.

The city averaged 23 aggravated assaults a week over the last 12 months. In 2019, that number was 21 a week.

The totals include only aggravated assaults, which police generally define as someone being attacked or seriously injured by another person, whether or not they used a firearm or other weapon.

A closer look at Fayetteville aggravated assaults neighborhood by neighborhood

ABC11’s data team looked at the Fayetteville Police Department’s data by neighborhood from 2019 through July 21, 2024. ABC11’s citywide and police zone counts are based on the police department’s open data of every police incident, which is updated daily and published online. Because the city’s data is based on incident reports, some cases may not be counted yet. Murders, for example, are included in the data later than other types of crimes.

The map color-codes each neighborhood by the aggravated assault rate over the last 12 months. The three darker blues represent neighborhoods with aggravated assault rates that are higher than the citywide rate. You can also click the box in the bottom right corner to see neighborhoods by the number of aggravated assaults.

A note about Fayetteville Police Department data and these pages: Statistics here count every incident in police data. Methodology for some government reports of crimes tabulates only the most severe incident if two crimes are reported as part of the same incident. For example, a homicide and a burglary will get counted in some crime totals as one incident of the most serious crime. Modern FBI methodology would count each incident as an individual crime, so it would count as a burglary and as a homicide. That is how the city data records incidents and how these pages and charts tabulate crimes.
